Currently the Hater app has 4,000 topics such as cargo shorts, crocs, and vegan food. And if you don’t feel strong either way, you can skip it.

Even if it started out for laughs, Hater’s success hasn’t been a joke. Alper raised $1 million in venture capital funding, and was even offered a deal from Mark Cuban when he appeared on “Shark Tank.” (Disclosure: Disclosure: CNBC owns the exclusive off-network cable rights to “Shark Tank.”)

While that deal didn’t pan out, the founder says Hater drew more than a million downloads from the Apple Store and Google Play.

Meanwhile, more people are embracing technology as a way to connect. According to Pew Research, 60 percent say online dating is a good way to meet people, up from just half that in 2005.

Like the Tinder dating app, people swipe through the topics, either right or left, to say if they like it or hate it

With more and more companies entering the space, the revenue continues to grow. In 2017, the electronic dating industry saw an estimated $1.3 billion in revenue.

“We don’t have any marriages yet, but it’s only been a year,” the founder told CNBC. “We do have people who have been dating pretty much a whole year.”

Imagine an online dating app whose mission is to help singles find true love through hate

Alper added that one of their favorite success stories comes from a couple who had a mutual aversion of the Super Bowl. So instead of watching the game, they watched a movie, and made queso dip.

Right now Hater is not making money, but the founder says they are working on monetizing through advertising, and is planning to roll out a premium subscription later this year. Læs resten →
